CONTENTS
Argument Licensing and Agreement, Claire Halpert investigates the strikingly
unrestricted syntactic distribution of nouns in Bantu languages such as Zulu. While this
property has led to proposals that syntactic case does not play an active role in the
grammar of Bantu languages, Halpert offers a different conclusion: Zulu has not only a
system of structural case, but also a complex system of morphological case comparable
to systems found in languages like Icelandic. By comparing the system of argument
licensing found in Zulu to those found in more familiar languages, Halpert introduces a
number of insights into the organization of the grammar.
First, Halpert locates the positions where case is assigned in Zulu as lower in the clause
than in nominative-accusative languages. Halpert demonstrates that syntactic facts
from two separate domains converge to identify the low domain for case-licensing in
Zulu. This evidence is mirrored by the syntactic distribution of tone cases in another
Bantu language, Otjiherero. In addition, Zulu shows evidence that case and agreement
are independent operations in the language, unlike what is found in many nominative-
accusative languages. Despite the unfamiliar location of case, Zulu displays the same the
timing relationships between operations found in languages like Icelandic. Second, this
book proposes a novel type of morphological case that obscures many of the structural
licensing effects in Zulu by providing an intrinsic source of case-licensing. While the effects
of this case are unfamiliar, Halpert argues that its existence is expected given typological
patterns and demonstrates that it is part of a richer picture of case morphology in Zulu
that interacts with agreement and phi-features in a predictable and familiar way. Finally,
this book explores the consequences of case and agreement as dissociated operations,
showing that other unusual properties of Bantu languages, such as hyper-raising, are
a natural result. This exploration yields the conclusion that some of the more unusual
properties of Bantu languages in fact result from small amounts of variation to deeply
familiar syntactic principles such as case, agreement, and the EPP.
